On the issue of parking President Romesburg and Vice President Brad Cook said that we are out of parking spaces and there is only way to go and that is up.

Courtsey Photos v By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OF THE AP WIRE WASHINGTON- President Bush on Friday signed a sweeping anti-terrorism bill into law, giving police and intelligence agencies vast new powers to "counter a threat like no other our nation has ever faced." "Today, we take an essential step in defeating terrorists while protecting the constitutional rights of all Americans," Bush said in an East Room ceremony even as the government grappled with a series of anthrax cases that may be linked to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "This government will enforce this law with all the urgency of a nation at war," Bush said. The legislation, while somewhat weakened from the administration's original proposal, expands the FBI's wiretapping and electronic surveillance authority and imposes stronger penalties for harboring or financing terrorists. It increases the number of crimes considered terrorist acts and toughens the punishment for committing them. The bill also gives policewide-ranging new anti-terrorism powers to secretly search people's homes and business records and to eavesdrop on telephone and computer conversations. "This law will give intelligence and law enforcement officials new tools to fight a present danger," Bush said. The ceremony, attended by Vice President Dick Cheney, lawmakers and uniformed law enforcement officials, came one day after Attorney General John Ashcroft said the Justice Department will begin using the new powers immediately. "Upon the president's signature, I will direct investigators and prosecutors to begin immediately seeking court orders to intercept communications related to an expanded list of crimes under the legislation," he said. Lawmakers, worried about possible abuse of the new wiretapping and surveillance powers, placed a four-year cap on that part of the legislation.

The first charge carries a maximum penally of life in prison and a $250,000 fine. The second two charges each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 fine. Olson is accused of placing a mixture of sugar and Nesquick in a piece of junk mail and showing the letter lo his neighboi and four of her relatives on Oct.

Olson allegedly admitted the hoax when I ll agents started asking questions about the containers of sugar and drink mix they saw on his kitchen counter. FBI agent Carole Covert told a judge at a prior hearing that Olson faked the letter because he wanted "to see what he looked like on television." Stephen McCaughey said his client will also undergo a full competency mental-health evaluation. The exam could take up to 90 days. " The action itself leads to some indication there may be mental problems," he said after Thursday's hearing.He said his client was looking for 15 minutes of fame. But he called the charges 'overealous.' "I'd hate to see someone with no prior record put away for life," he said. "This was a dumb mistake made at a bad period of time." Brooke C.
